Where to find jobs?!?!?!

[karekora]

Ok, Im in Tokyo now, living in Shibuya-ku. I visited JAWHM in Nakano today, and they only had 1 job that wasn:t teaching, and that was for an Experienced Construction Worker. Many many ski jobs.....

I:ve looked in Tokyo Notice Board, Metropolis, Japan Times... and on jobsinjapan.com, workinjapan.com, gaijinpot.com... but no luck yet. Going to call up some hopefuls tomorrow. But is there anywhere else I can look to get non-teaching job???????

Actually, teaching jobs are OK, but I:m on a WORKING HOLIDAY job, the point of that is to work only to SUPPLEMENT your holiday. Most of the teaching jobs at JAWHM where fulltime, 9-5 type jobs. How much of Japan can I see with that job??!! Get real..!

There was a guy at JAWHM in the same position as me - we just want a simple job that has no set duration of stay - flexible - part time... etc/..

I was thinking that working in a hotel or guest house is ideal - cleaning the rooms and serving breakfast in the morning, with the rest of the dayto myself, or working all day maybe 2-3-4 days a week? In order to get this type of job,where do i look? I can:t phone up and enquire for jobs to all the guest houses and hotels in japan!!

I also have proofreading and design experience - NO TEACHING EXPERIENCE! I guess teaching kids part-time is OK. I can sing and play games and dance to teach them basic english.

hmm.. i think im rambling now...
PLEASE ANY HELP!?!?!?!??!?!?

(I:m getting tired of my landlord asking me "havent you got a job yet? When will you get one? Aren:t you applying for jobs? You are? Why dont you have a job then??" ... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)



...help

and before you get ready to post - no degree? no chance! - ..don:t please! I know that already. You don:t need a degree to do simple jobs ok?!

how about seicomart? if you can speak Japanese, use a till and smile you`ll do ok.. plenty of koreans and chinese work there after all..

[kotatsuneko]

from your post you seem a bit antsy, almost as if you have posted on several other forums and had a hard time.

calm down, make some ocha and remember, this isnt shitty japan today or nampa/testosterone obsessed youngwankers, its fuckedgaijin

like cheers, only way better

Some people just aren't cut out for Japan.

[kotatsuneko]

if things get REALLY desparate, try to go out really early and locate a group of illegal day labourers factory work/ship work/chicken plucking should be available. dont go for the power plant work tho!

[kotatsuneko]

or try to get a job in a gaijin bar?

[kotatsuneko]

or track down the loaded and very gaijin friendly kano shimai if you are good loooking

[karekora]

its ok, ive decided i dont care...! If i get a job, i get a job, if not, not. im just going to travel japan until my money runs out. (probably quiet soon).

But im tired of the politeness of japan, im human, your human, cant we just be friendly?!

cheers anyway, hey maybe ill meet a rich guy I can drain..!!

Hi I dont know about working holiday... but you can go to the -pardon me if I misquote so he can understand the nuance - 'Gaijin Work Reliefe Center'. It is in the Shinjuku unemployment office. Commonly called 'Shokuan' on Shokuan dori street.
Go there. They will help you.
